Unlike many Starbucks sites, Shanghai's Reserve Roastery sells beer and wine, including a craft beer made from Kenya, Colombia and Guatemala coffees. But the new Starbucks Reserve Roastery promises a coffee experience with few equals.

On Tuesday, armed with a mind-boggling 30,000-square-foot (2,700 square-meter) mall, Starbucks finally opened its megastore for coffee lovers.

Shanghai's Roastery is equipped with 3 coffee bars, including one that is 27 meters (88 feet long) - the longest at any Starbucks, and were handcrafted by premiere Chinese artisans. Starbucks' scene-recognition software and AR experience is powered through a partnership with Alibaba Holding Group Ltd.

At the Shanghai site, two huge black cast iron ovens churn out more than 80 different freshly baked products a day from focaccia sandwiches with real deal Parma ham and Italian mozzarella, to sinful desserts. Customers, who download the app, get a whole new experience as they point their phones at key features around the roastery.

Coils of long copper pipes crisscross the ceiling, carrying coffee beans from the Copper Cask to the main bar. The eco-system is mind-boggling where customers could get everything they want under one roof.

"It's that unfiltered wonder, which overcomes even the most jaded, that really defines 'customer delight, ' " she said. According to the release, users can buy roastery-specific merchandise, order bags of coffee, and access curated tours or custom tasting menus.

{ 12 } At almost twice the size of Roastery in Seattle - the largest Starbucks in the U.S. - Roastery in Shanghai is a must visit even for Americans visiting China. There's a plan for similar megastore in Milan and NY (2018) and Tokyo and Chicago (2019).

They can have similar experiences all over the roastery, Emily Chang, senior vice president and chief marketing officer for Starbucks, China, said in a company press release, "It's like Alice in Wonderland meets Willy Wonka".
